This last failure happend when reinstalling slapd without /var/lib/ldap.
So /var/lib/ldap is created when installing slapd and contains default
DB_CONFIG file. The ldif file which is being added, is the small ldif file
generated by the slapd Debian configuration wizard (contains basic
structure and rootdn and password). I guess something is broken on my
system, but I'm not sure what, and this assertion does not really help in
finding this out...
